Abstract
The primary objective of this research is to utilize machine learning techniques in order to make predictions for optimal allocation and migration strategy of virtual machines (VMs) in cloud environments. The exploitation of cloud resources, in particular virtual machines (VMs), is an essential component in maximizing performance, optimization of resource utilization, and optimizing of cost. Manual allocation and migration decisions can be difficult to make because of the changing patterns of workload and the complicated configurations of the system. This research provides a comparative case study of two machine learning alogrithms, Long Short-Term Memory and Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm upon which algorithm provides the most optimal allocation and migration strategy. A comprehensive computational environment is set up with EC2 instances and S3 storage. Using the tools such as TensorFlow and PySpark, various models are created. Data is collected, processed and analyzed, and evaluated using metrics such as the LSTM accuracy and recall, and the effectiveness of Q-learning is determined on a reward-base validity defined. The following comparative analysis of both methods demonstrates the implications of both approaches and their contribution to improving efficiency in terms of cloud resource management operations.
